-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
F   A Adim A   F   A Adim A
AYou light on my feet Fine and so fleet
So indiscreet We should mBmeet around midnight
You may be insincere You whisper in my ear
Some words that may be unclear but thAey sound so right
And my head begins to sGpin When my heart says it's a Fsin
Never let the dance beEgin Once again To begin
EYou have your way with the women
You who captivate with your rhythm
G#I can't quite forget or forgGive 'em
CI'm not just a doll built for the ball
After I fFall dancin' is Dm7all you may recFall
After the bAallAdim  A  A  Adim  A  
I remember well elegant swell
The spell you weave very well in the moonlight
Ooh! Every move you make
Your flashing eyes would break
The hardest heart in Atlanta it just ain't right.
You-- a master of the game Me a moth and you a flame
You don't even know my name Just a dame
    All the same
You have your way with the women
You who captivate with your rhythm
I can't quite forget or forgive 'em
BmSo do your woG#rst! You'll be C#my fiBbrst
At lEbast in loCve I'm lFost and lGong to caCre
Free from it all! Fated to fall
My femme fatale! Always on call!
Winsome withal After the ball
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

You light on my feet Fine and so fleet

So indiscreet We should meet around midnight

You may be insincere You whisper in my ear

Some words that may be unclear but they sound so right

And my head begins to spin When my heart says it's a sin

Never let the dance begin Once again To begin

You have your way with the women

You who captivate with your rhythm

I can't quite forget or forgive 'em

I'm not just a doll built for the ball

After I fall dancin' is all you may recall

After the ball

I remember well elegant swell

The spell you weave very well in the moonlight

Ooh! Every move you make

Your flashing eyes would break

The hardest heart in Atlanta it just ain't right.

You-- a master of the game Me a moth and you a flame

You don't even know my name Just a dame

All the same

You have your way with the women

You who captivate with your rhythm

I can't quite forget or forgive 'em
